00:00Dr. McCourt, peux-je parler à ma thèse ?
00:03Uh, sure, durant l'office hours.
00:05Oui, vos heures ne fonctionnent pas vraiment pour moi.
00:07Sorry à l'entendre.
00:09Je vais demander une extension.
00:10Ma parents sont venus à la maison et ils sont très needy.
00:13Mon mari a pris tickets à l'opéra ce soir.
00:15Je vais te dire, ça va me faire falloir.
00:18Je suis désolé.
00:19Je pensais qu'on nous avait dit notre problème.
00:22Non l'extension.
00:24Hey, vous avez à manger tonight, parce que je vais en D.C.
00:27Right.
00:28C'est une réunion.
00:29Yes.
00:30Ever miss it ?
00:31The CIA ?
00:32No.
00:33I miss the people.
00:34But not the life.
00:36I don't know how you could walk away.
00:37You were the best analyst we had.
00:41Well, this can't be good.
00:42The Secretary of State's plane just went down over the Atlantic.
00:46He's dead.
00:50So how are you gonna do something relaxing today?
00:52Well, this relaxes me.
00:54Oh, uh, your phone.
00:56It wouldn't stop ringing, so I answered it.
00:58Who is it ?
00:59Some lady says it's the President's office.
01:01The PTA ?
01:03The United States.
01:11I recruited you for the CIA.
01:13I trained you as an analyst.
01:14I know how you think.
01:15You don't just think outside the box.
01:17You don't even know there is a box.
01:19I want you to step in.
01:21Step into what ?
01:22Secretary of State.
01:25You're joking.
01:26I realize you'll need some time to discuss this with your family.
01:29I'll give you the rest of the day.
01:31The King of Swaziland sits here.
01:33Madam Secretary, you'll be across from him.
01:35I've charted out all ten of his wives.
01:37Basically, it's a seniority system.
01:39Why are we entertaining the King of Swaziland ?
01:42The press loves stuff like this.
01:44The guy's exotic.
01:45Is it important to have all the wives?
01:46Think maybe we could have, like, cut it off and take three ?
01:51I know you have a friendship with the President,
01:53but you're in a system now.
01:54Trying to take advantage of that would be ill-advised.
01:57How would I take advantage of that ?
01:59By going around me.
02:02Got you the name of a stylist, right ?
02:04A stylist ?
02:05It's coming from the top.
02:06The Chief of Staff says I'm to be your personal appearance specialist.
02:09I don't need a stylist.
02:10The way he conveyed it to me, you don't have a choice in the matter.
02:14I've never met a situation where I don't have a choice in the matter.
02:18I have to get something to the press by tomorrow.
02:20Can I be resigned and conflicted ?
02:22You can never be either of those things.
02:24Can I be cautiously optimistic ?
02:26Well, that's for more serious world events.
02:28What if I'm grateful for the opportunity to expose the world
02:31to a variety of cultural differences ?
02:35That's really good.
02:36Should I write it down for you ?
02:37No, I'm the writer.
02:38Just as long as our roles are clear.
02:45Call the State Department !
02:49Speaking to the President, I'd like to brief him on the Syrian kidnapping.
02:52You know, we have rights.
02:53Call the American out of the city.
02:55It's a volatile situation.
02:56I don't want him being caught off guard if it hits the press.
03:00Two American kids arrested and imprisoned in Syria.
03:03Ethan and Tyler Cole, brothers from Hartford, Connecticut.
03:07We were sending Ethan to Europe for graduation.
03:09He asked Tyler to go with him.
03:11We had no idea they'd cross into Syria.
03:13If the State Department is going to take this on, it's going to recover.
03:16It has to go up the chain of command.
03:18What do you recommend ?
03:20I know some people on the ground.
03:22I'd like to proceed through back channels at this point.
03:24No, we have to do it my way.
03:28We're very happy to have his highness and all of his wives.
03:31And what about your family ?
03:33Do you have children ?
03:34I do.
03:35I have a son and a daughter.
03:36A nice small family.
03:37Well, I just have the one husband.
03:45Madam Secretary.
03:46We have a problem.
03:47It has to do with Operation Stupid Kids.
03:50Is that really what we're calling it ?
03:52That's what we were calling it before it went bust.
03:54Now we're calling it Operation Never Happened.
03:56They're going to execute those kids in a week.
04:00And I feel like I let the president down.
04:03How ?
04:04By not insisting that he do the right thing.
04:09I made an unofficial move on the situation in Syria.
04:12Things are coming.
04:13Why would you do that ?
04:14To save the lives of two innocent kids who aren't that much older than mine.
04:18I need to broker a deal on the ground.
04:20I'm sorry.
04:21I can't risk going back to Russia.
04:23It's a pigsty.
04:24I'm reminding you that the Secretary of State can have any foreign diplomat removed off of U.S. soil for any reason.
04:36You'd better be right about this.
04:37Or yours could be the shortest term in State Department history.
04:40Elihu B. Washburn under President Grant.
04:43Eleven days.
04:44I looked it up.
04:46Congratulations.
04:47You just bought yourself two stupid American kids.
05:04You want to tell me how those kids got released?
05:06By blatantly circumnavigating your authority?
05:09You'd better learn how to work with me instead of around me.
05:12My first choice as well.
05:13I make a much better ally.
05:15An opponent.
05:17Same here.
